Overwatch has released its first image of its next hero, named 51, which is expected to be an ally of Ashe. The character is depicted with a long rifle and a long pink hair. This aligns with the character depicted in the Deadlock Rebels novel by Lyndsay Ely. The game's associate game director, Alec Dawson, has previously stated that the next hero will be another damage hero with a satisfying skill shot.
